ABOUT US

Since opening its doors in 2017, Ride has been a welcoming, all-inclusive fitness community founded by our visionary Joanna Graves. From its beginning, Ride has stood as a cornerstone of the Stowe community, a place where movement, motivation, and connection come together. Over the years, it has evolved to offer a diverse range of classes empowering individuals of every level to pursue their health and wellness goals.

In 2025, Kristen Ely, a Stowe local, proudly took the helm. As a Physician Assistant & Athletic Trainer, Kristen has built her life and career around the pursuit of health and well-being. It is her greatest honor and privilege to continue Ride’s legacy, one built on integrity, dedication and deep commitment to its members and community.

Here at Ride, it’s always been more than fitness. It’s about showing up for yourself, finding strength in every season, and celebrating this community within a supportive and inspiring space. We Ride together!
